With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 29 029. Dabao’s Swing

Gu Xiaoxiao then asked the four of them to try it again. Zhaodi retreated a little and said to Gu Xiaoxiao, "I won't try it for now. Let's wait until I... get a little better and then get started."

She didn't know if she could get better, but she better not waste those ingredients now. It would be bad if the strange smell on her body made people sick.

Gu Xiaoxiao took a deep look at her, nodded, and agreed.

The physical odor is far less harmful than the psychological damage. She can't get over the hurdle in her heart. Even if she is forced to do it, it will be useless. It may be counterproductive and make her feel even more uncomfortable. It is better to wait until she has taken the medicine.

After seeing the effect, she could slowly open up her heart.

On the other side, Xiao Tao, Pan'er and Daqiang had a clear division of labor. Xiao Tao and Pan'er adjusted the egg liquid, and Daqiang kneaded the dough to make the egg tart crust.

Pan'er secretly glanced at Zhaodi, her eyes a little complicated. Gu Xiaoxiao also noticed this and remained silent without saying a word.

I'm afraid this girl and Zhaodi are from the same family. Pan'er, it sounds nice, but in this feudal environment, parents must have different thoughts when they choose such a name. Pan'er, Pan'er.

Son, looking forward to a son always means not paying enough attention to women.

Soon a new round of egg tarts came out. Gu Xiaoxiao tasted them and found that they were okay, but the dough was a bit hard, there was not enough egg liquid and sugar, and the heat was a bit unclear.

She let them try it a few more times, with her urging her, until she was satisfied with the last one. The three of them were also very happy and admired Mrs. Gu even more.

Da Qiang has a handsome face, a wheat complexion, and a naive personality. He does whatever he is asked to do. He is a very honest person, and he is strong enough. After kneading so many rounds of dough, he does not feel tired or impatient at all.

Xiao Tao is a heartless little girl. She looks younger than Pan'er and Zhao Di. She feels like she grew up being pampered by her parents, so she is not as cautious as Zhao Di and Pan'er. She is more of a talkative person.

What kind of temperament.

Pan'er is similar to Zhaodi, but not as humble as Zhaodi. She has a pretty face, but is a little too thin, probably because she doesn't eat well. She is relatively taciturn, with the tenderness of a social woman between her eyebrows.

.

At this time, the three of them were all smiling happily. Daqiang bared his big teeth and scratched the back of his head. Xiaotao also jumped three feet high. Only Paner, grinning slightly, glanced at Zhaodi many times from the corner of his eye.

, with a feeling of mutual sympathy.

After finishing teaching this pastry dish, Gu Xiaoxiao was planning to leave. It was getting dark and he couldn't delay any longer.

Naturally, the opening of a new store cannot only have one pastry. Let’s come over tomorrow to teach others.

Xiao Mu also had to worry about the subsequent opening of the business and would not return to Zhoucheng in a short time, so he returned to Shiweixuan and moved into his own private room.

After Gu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Mu said goodbye, he looked up at the increasingly dark sky. He originally thought that he could buy himself new clothes this time, but was delayed by this matter. Now that it was already late, he had to buy clothes.

Let’s talk about it later.

She raised her feet and wanted to walk home, but then she thought that it was so late now, and she might not have time to make dinner when she walked back. What's more, she had money now, so why bother tired her legs!

Then he changed direction again and walked towards the carriage and horse.

In the end, they chose a carriage that was very simple and pleasing to the horse. The interior of the carriage was also spacious enough that the family could fit in it when traveling in the future.

A complete set of equipment was paid for dozens of dollars.

Because horses are very valuable here, people who buy horses need to register at the Yamen.

Registration didn't take much effort, and it was done quickly. Gu Xiaoxiao drove his first mount here and returned home leisurely.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Qian Bin was still waiting to report to her as usual. He was also very happy because the house was completed today.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at his brand-new home. The outside of the door was very simple, but the slightly higher wall blocked everything that was unique inside. From the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary farmer's household, but inside, what happened to Gu Xiaoxiao?

How to get comfortable.

After parking the carriage, she opened the door and felt very happy. Qian Bin, who was waiting at the stone table in the courtyard, saw her coming back and immediately stood up to greet her, smiling happily.

Zhou Zeyun has also been keeping company. Four children and Dahuang are also playing in the courtyard. When they saw Gu Xiaoxiao coming back, they all immediately came to greet him.

"Come back." Zhou Zeyun said softly, like an old married couple.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and nodded.

Dahuang, who had grown a little fatter during this time, ran up to her, looked at her triumphantly, let out a "meow", and then jumped a few times on the spot, with a look in his eyes asking for reward.

.

But Gu Xiaoxiao not only didn't praise it, but also frowned with disgust, "You learned poor language from some little wild cat. It's not domineering at all. Change it back! Stop learning bad habits."

Dahuang's originally proud expression instantly lost its luster due to her words, and it bared its two extra-long fangs dejectedly, let out a "ouch", and left alone, dejected.

Qian Bin was a little puzzled when he listened to Gu Xiaoxiao's words. He was busy building a house during this period, and Dahuang was mostly taken care of by Sanbao, a taciturn child. Therefore, he didn't have much contact with Dahuang. He only thought that it was a handsome boy.

A relatively...ferocious kitten, so at this moment he wanted to say, isn't that how cats meow?

Dahuang has also learned that kind of call from the wild cats in the village these days, so he often calls "meow" and "meow" to practice, but Gu Xiaoxiao went out early and came back late, and never heard it call like this, so today I feel

He only showed it off in front of Gu Xiaoxiao after he had matured, but she didn't know that she still disliked it for not being domineering, which hurt its tiger heart.

Naturally, Qian Bin had never heard what Dahuang was called before, so when he heard Dahuang's "oooo" sound, which was very different from that of a kitten, he was surprised and could only sigh in his heart. Mrs. Gu is amazing, this kind of cat

The cats are all extraordinary!

The children also saw the carriage parked at the door and shouted in surprise. Si Bao hugged Gu Xiaoxiao's legs and said sweetly: "Mom, did you bring the carriage at the door?"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked down at Si Bao's rosy little face and said with a smile: "Yes, this will be our family's carriage from now on, and I can also take you out to play occasionally."

The children were instantly happy when they heard that they could go out and play.

Gu Xiaoxiao brought back the extra egg tarts, handed half of them to Zhou Zeyun, and asked him and the children to go inside and eat.

She handed the remaining half to Qian Bin and said, "This is the new pastry in town. Take it back and try it with Aunt Zhao."

She doesn't plan to let the villagers know about her career now. There are always those talkative people, and disputes will definitely arise when the time comes. It's not that she doesn't trust Qian Bin, it's just that she should hide it if she can. It's safer.

At this time, Qian Bin hurriedly refused, "No, no, you can keep it and eat it with the children, don't worry about us."

"Just take it, they have enough to eat, not to mention I want to talk to you about other things, and I don't even dare to say it if you do this!" Gu Xiaoxiao joked.

Seeing this, Qian Bin no longer refused, so he accepted it and said with a smile: "What do you want to say? Tell me now."

Gu Xiaoxiao waved and motioned for him to sit down. Then the two of them sat down in front of the stone table in the courtyard, and then Gu Xiaoxiao began to say: "The house is finished today. You have worked hard this month."

Qian Bin frowned and said, "Hey, what are you talking about? It's not hard work. You didn't give me wages! Not only did you give me wages, but you also gave me so much. I should thank you for trusting me and giving me this job."

ah!"

After finishing the polite remarks, Gu Xiaoxiao got down to the topic and asked: "I also know that you are coming back this time for the autumn harvest, so when do you plan to leave? Are you leaving right away?"

Qian Bin was a little shy when he heard this, and said sheepishly: "Madam Gu, to tell you the truth, this time I come back for the autumn harvest, but my mother is also attending my wedding, and she has been building a house at your house during this time.

There has been no progress in the marriage, so my mother wanted me to stay a little longer. It just so happened that the salary you gave me was more than what I got outside, and my family's expenses were sufficient, so I wasn't in a hurry to go out.

"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and thought about it. Thinking that they were going on a blind date, it was not suitable to express his thoughts.

Qian Bin also saw that Gu Xiaoxiao still had something to say, and thought she might have encountered some difficulty, so he added: "Ms. Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Gu Xiaoxiao saw that he was thinking too much, so he stopped worrying about it and directly expressed his thoughts, "That's it, this house is finished, and I want to ask you to help me build a medicine store on the mountain. The one in front of me

I bought the mountain and planned to grow medicinal materials. But you have family troubles and building a house has already delayed you. I'd better find someone else to do the next thing," she said truthfully.

"Hey, that's it." Qian Bin smiled, slapped his thigh, and continued: "I thought it was such a big deal that you were so entangled!... It doesn't matter, isn't it just to build a medicine store? This is

I will definitely help you with your contribution to the village and the world! I didn’t expect that Madam Gu, you actually know medicinal materials and bought that hilltop. How amazing! But... I heard that there are wild beasts in that mountain, so the medicine village is built.

It’s not very suitable there.” He expressed sincere praise and genuine concern.

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled softly, and was very calm about his praise, and answered his worries, "It doesn't matter, I have powder to repel wild beasts, and I will definitely ensure the safety of those who go to the mountains!"

Qian Bin nodded and said, "I definitely believe you, but others may not."

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that he was referring to other villagers who worked. Indeed, people with whom he had few contacts would naturally not risk their lives to help him build a medicine store.

But now it is better to solve his matter first, and said: "Ignore that for now, building the medicine store will take more time and effort, then your marriage..."

Hearing this, Qian Bin scratched his head and became even more embarrassed and said: "Actually... my mother arranged the marriage. I'm not in a hurry at all. I can avoid my mother's nagging by working here."

,fine."

"You really don't need to go back and discuss it with Aunt Zhao?"

"It's okay. If my mother heard that it was your job, she would definitely agree to it more happily than me!"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling relieved, and said: "Okay, that's it, then I'll have to worry about you again. I'll pay the wages."

"You're too polite, there's no need to worry about it at all." He waved his hand and said modestly.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and decided that Qian Bin should solve the previous problem, and continued: "Then you ask them, if they don't want to build a medicine store, it doesn't matter. We can go to the town to find a specialist.

Workers can do it too.”

When she was building a house before, she didn't expect to find workers, and she thought it would be more convenient for people in the village to come and go, and only one meal would be included. Moreover, the workers in the town were too dogmatic, and she was afraid that her request would be too strange and would not be accepted by others.

No.

After that, there is no need to pay so much attention to building a medicine farm. Just a simple village is enough. It can be used for people who will work there in the future, or you can live in it yourself when you go to inspect.

Therefore, it can be built according to the customs here. It does not have high requirements like this house.

Qian Bin nodded and had no choice but to do this.

After the matter was agreed upon, he left. Since he brought back a lot of egg tarts and the children were full, they were still tired after eating too many egg tarts, so they unanimously decided not to make dinner at night.

At this time, Dabao ran into the courtyard and messed around for a while. Seeing that he was mysterious and mysterious, Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Zeyun became suspicious and followed him out. They saw a swing set up in the open space on one side of the courtyard, with ropes connected to it.

On the top of a thick tree extending from outside the courtyard.

Dabao saw that someone had seen it, so he stopped being secretive and said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "I have already made the seat for this swing, but I had to build a house before, so I was afraid that it would block their work, so I didn't build it for it."

Come on, now the house is built, the layout is decided, and the swing can be installed." The little face looked proud.

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, but he didn't expect this child to be so thoughtful.

Zhou Zeyun was also relieved.

Then Gu Xiaoxiao called out the other three children. When the children saw their elder brother making a big swing for them, they immediately stepped forward excitedly.

Erbao's eyes were shining brightly. During this period, he followed Uncle Qian Bin to build a house. He also learned more or less about the building structure and was quite interested in it. At this time, he saw his elder brother making a swing by himself, and he felt deeply in his heart.

I was impressed, so I said sincerely: "Brother, you can do it! You actually made a swing, it's amazing, it's amazing!"

Dabao chuckled lightly, he was very pleased with Erbao's praise.

Sanbao also smiled slightly. Although he said nothing, his eyes showed his admiration for his elder brother.

Si Bao didn't think too much and climbed directly onto the swing, shouting happily: "Brother, big brother, push me, I want to swing!"

"Okay, be careful and hurry up." Dabao responded and stepped forward, feeling full of accomplishment.

Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao stood aside and smiled, watching the four kids taking turns on the swing, and they were very happy in their hearts.

Such a situation also made Gu Xiaoxiao feel emotional for a moment. She recalled that when she first came here, the little ones were so skinny that their eyes were either gloomy or frightened. At this time, they finally showed the innocence that children of this age should have.

Even Dabao and Sanbao laughed, and she also had a great sense of accomplishment.

Then she looked at Zhou Zeyun, who was also staring at her. The two looked at each other and smiled softly. Now this place finally feels like home!
